The speed of the fan should be well within admissible range.
If there is a sudden/gradual increase/decrease in the speed of the fan, then it indicates that the fan is malfunctioning.
By comparing the speed of the fans, administrators can figure out the fans that are running abnormally and replace them before the stack unit starts malfunctioning. |
